Taste and talent, closing the gap
Five minutes from Ira Glass on the time it takes to grow into creative talent. This speaks directly to how I feel about my photography right now. Whenever someone compliments my style, I can only think to myself, “that’s just a 50mm/f1.8 and the same portrait over and over again.” This was reassuring, especially given [...]

Picnic weather arrives
Off into Boston Common with friends for a picnic this last week of undergrad, and Boston’s despicable weather is finally considering playing nice with such springtime festivities. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Moving on up
Rolling Stone/Chicago Tribune columnist Greg Kot has noticed our boy Ezra; the very favorable piece ran in yesterday’s Trib, and Ezra (along with the rest of us) was pretty excited to see it.
Coupled that with an appearance on a Best of 2007 list at Time Out New York, and it would seem like the boy [...] -

My year in cities: 2007 edition
View Larger Map
Reprising last year’s meme, here is my year in cities. Alas, no foreign travel for me in 2007, though I did get around the northeast pretty handily - I guess that is what comes from a summer spent back in Boston. Our low-budget spring break road trip through California barely registers here, with [...]
